I think we are not using the same lens for the moore/anti-Moore thing. What Aycheb says makes total sense to me. But that's really not an issue here.
Your other ctiqiues are really just fine. I have replies to them -- or at least to some of them -- and we can hash them out if you like. But please notice that you do not once make reference to Promethea. You've just introduced a series of productive lines of conversation to have -- and you did it by looking at *this* text and asking about what *this* text might be trying to achieve. Promethea is a distraction, especially when the issue is launched in a post that made much more sweeping claims than even you are willing to defend. All we are left with is "Promethea succeeds in its own aims; season 8 fails in its own aims." I say we can strike the first and be left with "season 8 fails in its own aims" and get down to business on that.
